Rego’s Everyday Life

Today we landed a patch in @ChromiumDev to change how percentage row tracks and gutters are resolved in grid containers with indefinite height. The change will hit stable in M70, but a deprecation warning will be present in M69 too. Examples available at https://chromestatus.com/feature/6708326821789696

Analyzing websites using percentage grid rows and found many grid containers with a single 100% height row, by default that’s the same than not setting anything for the row or just setting it to “auto”. If align-content is normal (default) grid-template-rows: 100% == auto == none

Igalia is implementing CSS Logical Properties in Chromium, Oriol Brufau has started by unprefixing the existing properties for margins, paddings and borders https://chromestatus.com/feature/6041507983261696, which are now available in Canary since version 69.0.3477.0. Enjoy them! 🙂

Amazing blog post by Fred Wang (once more) about Igalia and the work we do in the Web Platform 😍

The CSS WG F2F meetings are over, it’s been a great weak. Today after dinner Peter Linss and me went for a night walk around Berlin, he showed me an awesome secret from the city, thank you very much! 😉

Arrived at Hotel at 00:00 after a nice but very loooong CSS WG dinner. Spent the next 2h re-reading again css-grid-2 and thinking in different examples for subgrids: dual-axis vs per-axis 💤

Started the week traveling to Berlin for the CSS WG F2F meeting, let’s get ready for the meetings from tomorrow on. See you there! 😉

Composition underline now uses text color (instead of black) in Chromium and WebKit, so it’s visible in dark backgrounds. BTW, Firefox was already behaving like that.

This is one more contribution from Igalia thanks to Bloomberg’s support. We hope you enjoy it! 😉
